Manhattan's Soros DA Alvin Bragg Won't Prosecute Actual Killers -- But Charges a Bodega Owner With Murder For Daring to Defend Himself Against a Criminal Attacker

This is intentional. This is not accidental. This is what they intend.

The bodega owner is an older man, and defended himself with a knife against a much younger attacker, killing his assailant.

And Soros DA Alvin Bragg finally had a murder case he was interested in prosecuting to the full.

By JENNIFER SMITH, CHIEF REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

There is mounting anger over woke Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's decision to charge a 62-year-old bodega employee with murder for killing a career criminal in self-defense after the thug attacked him in his store.
Jose Alba is in Rikers Island this morning awaiting his first court appearance on charges of murder.
His bail has been set at $250,000 - an exorbitant amount compared with the low-or-no cash bail that is routinely given to repeat offenders by Bragg's soft-touch office.
On Friday night, Alba stabbed Austin Simon to death after Simon attacked him in the Bluemoon Convenient Store in Harlem.
Alba, who is beloved in the local community, has worked there for decades and has no criminal record.
His family launched a GoFundMe page to help pay his legal expenses - but the page was removed on Wednesday night after raising $20,000. GoFundMe is yet to explain the decision.
Over the weekend, Alba was arraigned on a second degree murder charge and Bragg's office asked the judge to set Alba's bail at $500,000 - which the judge deemed too high.
Alba has not yet been indicted; his case is going before a grand jury on Saturday.

Alba was first wounded with the girlfriend's knife. Then she called her boyfriend over to finish Alba off.

So Alba was not the first to introduce knives into the fray.

The girlfriend who stabbed Alba, because Alba correctly told her that if she couldn't afford potato chips she couldn't just take the potato chips, has not been charged. Of course she hasn't!

This is New York City, where murderers are set free and innocent men are jailed for defending themselves against the murderers the DA sets free!

And the supposed tough-on-crime mayor Eric Adams refused to criticize his leftwing Partner-in-Crime Bragg over this. Adams offered a vague statement in support of "hard-working" bodega owners-- but refused to "second-guess" the Soros DA Bragg.

Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday stood up for the "hard-working" Manhattan bodega clerk languishing on Rikers Island on $250,000 bail after he fatally stabbed a violent ex-con while trying to fend off an attack.
"My heart goes out for this hard-working, honest New Yorker that was doing his job in his place of business, where a person came in and went behind the counter and attacked him," Adams said about 51-year-old Jose Alba at a press conference.
The mayor -- who later paid a visit to the Hamilton Heights bodega -- stopped short of criticizing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office for charging Alba with second-degree murder and requesting a whopping $500,000 bail at the worker's arraignment Saturday.
"The DA has a non-mandate, where we cannot dictate or mandate how he determines how he's going to prosecute crimes," Adams told reporters. "That is up to the district attorney, and I'm not going to second-guess the district attorney for his actions."

Everyone who voted for Adams, believing his "I Back the Blue" bullsh!t: You got got. You been bamboozled. You been run amok.

The Bodega Defense League, which is supposed to stick up for bodega owners in cases like this, is also silent. Alba's family has had to reach out to... the National Rifle Association for help, even though this case has nothing to do with guns.

Note that Batya Unger-Sargon was until recently a card-carrying red-diaper baby, as leftwing as you could want.

She may still identify that way, but she increasingly sounds like an Extremist Far-Right Conspiracy Theorist.

Because the left is driving a lot of people running and screaming away from the left.

They are depraved. They have removed the masks and have shown that their true object is the total literal destruction of society, and as big a pile of bodies as that will take.

And this is not mere rhetoric; they intend to kill people to achieve their dream of a Year Zero reset. In fact, killing people isn't even a necessary evil; it's kind of the whole point. The Year Zero reset is kind of just a justification for the murders these psychopaths are drooling to commit.

84 So in breaking Baltimore news, a squeegee kid was harassing a driver at a red light right at one of the busiest Inner Harbor intersections about an hour ago.Driver got out of the car with a baseball bat...and the squeegee kid shot and killed him. Rush hour, downtown, broad daylight.
You don't think that is gonna change the dynamics at Baltimore red light intersections with squeegee kids present?

And...a neighbor was carjacked directly in front of my MiL's house up here while we were down home in S.C.

Yes, exactly. The Summer of George was state-sponsored terrorism and the message delivered was you accept your rape, torture or murder and if you try to defend yourself you will go to jail. Venues were carefully selected, of course, because Merrick's Merry Band was not in place to swoop in and do the job the local cops would not do.

Prediction: next wave of riots outside of the Hives results in a high body count of the rioters and the DOJ moves aggressively against those defending themselves and all hell breaks loose.

Starts out with bodega owner sitting without out offering any resistance while the soon-to-be deceased is standing over him in a threatening manner. When the bodega owner tries to walk away, the thug grabs him by the collar of his shirt and tries to push him down to the floor. That's when the bodega owner grabs a knife from a shelf and stabs the thug in the clavicle area.

Seems self-defense to me. The bodega owner is obviously smaller in stature and older than the young, fit dude grabbing him by the neck. Case law is pretty clear that disparate force can be used by weaker potential victims to defend themselves. ... But, New York City.

The beauty of Federalism: If a state wants to drive out the best and brightest to states which are less stupid, so be it. The idea by the left was to create uniformity across states via an all powerful federal government, making escape impossible. The latest rulings by SCOTUS are turning the tide away from that goal.

173 Fenelon I understand what you're saying. Most of the blue cities deserve what they get but most outlying areas of a big city don't want this. My state, Missouri has two large cities Kansas City and St. Louis. Opposite ends of the state. In between are hard working God loving people. And even that being said I can bet there are many people in the large cities that are sick of this shit.

191 Solzhenitsyn:

"In the Criminal Code of 1926 there was a most stupid Article 139 – “on the limits of necessary self-defense” —according to which you had the right to unsheath your knife only after the criminal’s knife was hovering over you. And you could stab him only after he had stabbed you. And otherwise you would be the one put on trial. ...
This fear of exceeding the measure of necessary self-defense lead to total spinelessness as a national characteristic.

A hoodlum once began to beat up the Red Army man Aleksandr Zakharov outside a club. Zakharov took out a folding penknife and killed the hoodlum. And for this he got….ten years for plain murder! “And what was I supposed to do?” he asked, astonished. Prosecutor Artsishevsky replied: “You should have fled!"

The lefties flipped out, and got him fired from his brand new job. Because of course, all Bodega owners are BIPOCs. It turned out the kid was even handing food out to homeless people, but that didn't matter. He had to go. And just like that, we find out where Bodega owners fit on the lefty social scale. Gang members much higher in that regard. The "Bodega defense league" is probably scared stiff that their wonderful government will suddenly decide to impose special Bodega taxes, because it's a nice place you got here, be a shame if anything was to happen to it.

I honestly think this one's a bit borderline. The thug was manhandling the clerk, physically dominating him, menacing him, etc, but I don't see lethal violence coming from the thug.

I'm not sure exactly when the clerk got stabbed, but to me it looks like it was after the clerk was already stabbing the thug.

I agree the DA is overcharging. The thug fucked around and found out. But that's not the way the law works. Lethal violence is supposed to be a response to lethal violence, not being shoved around and cornered. Yes, he got stabbed, but I think that happened after he had the knife and was stabbing the thug.

Not quite correct. You can use deadly force if you fear serious physical injury (i.e., being put in the hospital). The key factors to me are the very obvious differences in age and physical size. I don't think a grand jury in my old jurisdiction would indict. ... But, New York City.

So, you install one safari-in-drag to go along with your regular safari. Set one of them scripty and the other unscripty, and use the unscripty one for AoS, and the scripty one for other stuff.

That is what I'm doing. Regular safari has scripts enabled, "Brave" safari-in-drag has them disabled.

The robbers weapon was nearby on the floor. Yeah maybe he shouldn't have shot him again but a life sentence is the biggest miscarriage of justice I've ever seen.

Zeldin needs to use this against Hochel too, as she has the power to remove him for all the criminals he lets off with a slap on the wrist. If anything point out how most of those, if not all, that Brag sets free share his skin color, while he's jailing a Hispanic for defending himself, sounds like racism to me.

342 I am making $92 an hour working from home. i was greatly surprised at the same time as my neighbour advised me she changed into averaging $ninety five however I see the way it works now. I experience mass freedom now that I'm my non-public boss.

343 It would truly be a terrible thing if Alvin Bragg happened to be stabbed to death by some criminal of color, and his successor put the stabber out on no bail...
